THIS PIPE WAS HIDING ALL MY TURBO FLUTTER | TURBO TO CROSSOVER BAFFLE DELETE ON THE MK2 FOCUS ST
In this video, we remove the baffle pipe that when standard connects between the turbo and the crossover pipe. The standard pipe is fitted inside with small holes to impact the airflow and keep the car quiet this is called the baffle which acts similar to a catalytic converter. So having found out about this pipe I swiftly ordered a replacement from lewis gilbert at RST to see if the rumours were true?!
Does it really make the turbo whistle louder...... AND YES IT DOES

I got a good laugh when he said that
The whole point of using silicon pipes is so they don't expand. Saying they expand and therefore let more air through is complete bollocks. There is no reason it would expand even if it could, it's on the intake. It's before the turbo.There is no pressure.

Dropping that air silencer makes a massive difference, you'll really hear those flutters after the valve mods.
Makes a huge difference upgrading the turbo to crossover pipe. I did mine on my EO st today, I have the dreamscience CAI located behind the front wheel, sounds really loud, especially with forge recirc valve and forge actuator 👍🤙🤙🤙

Wow every days a school day! I didn’t not realise that about that turbo hose was going to change mine anyway but just thought it was just a nasty looking stock hose 😂, great vid mate need these during isolation lol!
For those also doing this mod, you can use a small amount of engine oil and rub it on the inside of the silicone hoses. That will make it ALOT easier when you fit it and you can move it ALot easier into place before clamping everything. Your welcome 😜

I have the Airtec cais and full Milltec, symposer delete and it all sounds just great!
great video definitely look into getting one myself. but can i recommend some fabric wiring tape for your ecu wires to tidy it up and protect them. easiest way is disconnect battery and unplug the ecu and then wrap the loom it tidys it up alot.

Maf sensor is on the wrong way round the mesh part goes facing the air filter.
Oh cool info. mate. I was umming and aaring about getting one of those as I've put all new pipes on up to that point on the induction side. I just thought that last one was a cosmetic change until now, I did not know of any baffles in there robbing us of lovely sounds! I still have not taken my bonnet duvet off yet, yes I know I gotta get it ripped out. Cheers guys, stay well and hope Luke feels better after mumps, I hear it's not a good thing to get when you are not a kid, but maybe that's an old wives tale, I dunno. Shame we don't have an OBD2 port so we can just plug a reader in and see what's up. Diagnosis would be easy. Oi mate you got a covid19 code up, bank 1 lol.

I was going to get silicone crossover ducts from mountune...any idea if they have the baffles in? Obviously I want some nice turbo flutter too. Who doesn't?
sick vid boyssssss 😎 dream team
I wonder if they do this for the 7th gen Fiesta ST
Silicone hoses don't expand on the cold side that's the sucking side so anything from airbox to turbo is vacuum hence why most of it is hard pipe, from turbo to intercooler is the pressured side.
Does this silicone pipe make any difference to the performance? If its just induction noise id rather have the car quiet
I pick my st 225 up tomorrow it has a front splitter is that going to be an issue around speed humps
How hard was it to attach the cross over down onto the turbo?
Cool indicator lights, are those customised??
i hope if the belt harness is being used that you have adjusted it, seeing people actually buckle up with the buckle across the stomach like that is bad, put it round the waist
I’ll give you a good tip, from silicone pipe you do get a better flutter but with spending the same amount you spent for the silicone pipe you can get better sounds and performance from a titanium pipe with a nice polished look
Does that front brace bar fit the c30?
I don't think they make the same boost level in idle so you won't get the full effect. The engine will need to be under load i.e. driving, to get the full effect.
Nice but....why didn't you spray oil on the filter?
Is this available for American made at’s?

It's hard to think of the reason Ford put the baffle in there originally. Was it for strength? Surely not sound depression as they went to all that lengths to introduce engine noise into the cabin with the sympothsiser plastic gubbins.

remove the Standard pipe and jump on it or put in a vice just break the plastic baffle no need to buy a silicone pipe. if going bigger turbo then change. The whole point of using silicon pipes is so they don't expand. its sucking there is no pressure anyway.
The oem pipe sounds mutch better, oem gives a higher pitch note
Shit... thx for video, but seats, wheel, safe belts... How much to 60mph? 6sec?...
I've seen people recently take the 'silencer' out of the standard hose, don't do this people, the standard hose will collapse on itself under boost 😅 just buy a proper silicone pipe 🙏

Yep I think he got a bit mixed up there. A good vacuum pipe KEEPS it's shape and does not cave under (negative) pressure. We don't want elliptical cross sections in our pipes under load! OH NO!! I cannot think of any situation where a pipe with a bit of expansion is a good thing, unless if it was to act as a damper to stop boost side pipes blowing off at sudden very high boost levels. If anyone can enlighten me I'd be grateful. Thanks.
